CONFEDERATE MONEY.

On Monday Judge jackson, In the
United States Court, was occupied all
day i'll hearing the case of Hiram L.
Opie, formerly citizen of Virginia,
but now of Kentucky, against the
heirs of Castleman, Of Jefferson Coun'
ty, this State. The history Of this case
shows that in 1880 Hiram l.. 0pie,
father of the present plaintiff, owned
a very valuable farm in Jefferson
County which he sold to Castleman
for $40, 900, of which $40, 900 was paid
in cash and the remainder In equal
payments. The last payment was
made in the fall of 1864. Shortly after
the sale Opie moved to Staunton, va,
where he died in the fall Of 1862. After
his death his wife and son, DIR. Thos.
Opie qualified az his executors under
the provisions of his will. After
Optics death Castleman, it is claimed,

In the distribution of the patronage
of West Virginia, Mr.. Faulkner has
been recognized by the Administra-
ton as the duly elected Senator. This
if not surprising in view of the fact
that if Mr.. Faulkner should be given
the seat by the United States Senate,
he would hold ii for six years, while
Mr.. Lucas, the Governors appointee,
is seated his term Of Office will end
when the Legislature shall meet In
regular session. In one case the Dem
ocratic party would be sure of the seat
for the full term, barring the Senator's
death; In the other case there is
chance, and a good one, too, that
when the next Legislature of West
Virginia meets its complexion will
be changed sufficiently to admit Of
the election of a Republican Senator.
The Administration knows how i'm.
portant every seat in the upper House
is at present, when the strength ofthe
two parties is so evenly balanced. II
prefers, therefore, to espouse Mr.
Faulkner's cause in opposition to Mr..
Lucas, although both are Democrats.
This by no means disposes oftheques-
ton, however, and it may be doubted
whether on the whole the Admins.
tration willstrengthen itself in West
Virginia by taking sides in local
Democratic quarrel. The probability
is that it will not, and that the Re.
publican party will derive benefit
from the discussions of their oppo.
nents.-Phaippi Republican.

WHY WE LAG BEHIND.

B. L. Keenan,, Esq, of Wichita
Kansas, lawyer andreal estate agent
who has been in that State about two
years, has had ample opportunities to
converse with capitalists, spectators
travellers, tourists, and others seeking
investment, and has pointer or two
which we give in the letter printed
below:-
WICHITA, KAs., July "a, 1887.
I beg leave to say that aside from
the place with which I am identified
in business way, there is no place I
hold in dearer remembrance or for
whose prosperity / more sincerely
hope thah Morgantown and the State
of West Virginia. am sorry to saw,
however, you labor under many dis
advantages. You can offer no induce.
ments for immediate gain in specula.
ton. or in building up enterprise-at
any rate you offer none. You are old
aud welded to Bourbonism. You
don't advertise anything, if you have
it, to induce people to come into your
bailiwick. Not twenty business men
in your town even advertise their
wares. Strangers, in hunting a loca-
ton, pick up a Morgantown paper
and think you haveno stores or shops
in the place! They give you wide
berth. Nothing is known of West
Virginia outside the State, except the
fact of its being Southern State and
solidly Democratic.
The Red Book and the Tribune or
American Almanac will give the cleo
ton returns, and this Is not due toany
enterprise in West Virginia. You dis.
course political questions with some
degree of ability and earnestness, and
form very positive opinions on supple
mental assessments. But what have
you to keep people in your borders or
to attract others thereto? Why don't
YOU tell the world? Why don't Won
blow your own horn? Keep your men
in West Virginia by keeping them in
the dark about better places Better
keep them there by proving that that
is the best place for them.
OF all the Southern States West
| Virginia has in the last year attracted
least capital from abroad. Why? Not
| because she is least deserving but be.
cause she lacks proper enterprise,
Why don't you advertise and why
don't you do something? You have
mineral and other resources. Kansas
will build more miles of railroad this
year than West Virginia ever saw.
You don't do anything. You don't
argue farm statistics; your claim to
recognition of nothing of the kind.
You must advertise. Manipulate
your statistics to show gain--popula.
ton and gain is wealth show gen.
eral spirit of encouragement to manu-.
featuring industries, railroads, etc.
Establish, if possible, commercial
center in the State.
Place the State in the hands of the
Republican pdrty-not so much for
sake of party as to put 1t in sympathy
with the North.
If you can't do these things and
many more, you may give over, and
the State will be booked on in the
idea of q something finishedn-a
something from which nothing more
can be expected. Moyyanto,cn Post,

P0WDERLY DEFENDS THE POOR
FROM AN UNJUST ACCUSATION.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 10.-In the
journal of United Labor, Mr.. Pow
DERBY, speaking of indiscriminate i'm
migration, says:
The working people already here
are elbowing each other in a very
uncomfortable manner; condition
of things which must grow worse
with the unnatural additions of
those who are considerably further
down in the social scale and which
in time is not unlikely to lead to the
realization of the gloomy industrial
picture drawn years ago by the late
Colonel Oliver, of the Massachusetts
Labor Bureau. A helpless crowd of
workers, the oppression of low
wages, inevitable poverty and a dis
guised serfdom, a rich MASTER a
poor servant, and a mean popula-
ton.
In the same paper Mr.. Powderly
makes this defence of the working
men who have been styled "the
dangerous classes ~: l5

should issue a call for defenders of

would go forth responsive to the

the manufacturer from his looms,
the lawyer from his brief, the
banker from his bonds mot these |;
but the laborer, the farmer from his
plough, the mechanic from his shop,
the miner from his pit, the laborer

Very few people can afford to part
